This site does a great job of searching "key" words. When I searched fishing rod rack I found several posted on the Lumberjacks site. Plans may be harder to find but you should be able to sketch something out from the ones posted.
Personally my fishing gear is stored in a side room of my shop and I use peg board and peg board hooks to hang my large collection of rods…probably 30+ (from the guides), from heavy ocean rods to 5 weighted fly rods.
Meanwhile, at the dirt simple end of the spectrum …
For storing rods vertically build a small shelf - it doesn't need to be more than about three inches deep. Measure your reels - how thick are they? Cut 3/16" slots in the outer edge of the shelf, spaced far enough apart to accomodate reel + handle. The shelf is mounted up high and the fishing rods hang from their tips or one of the line guides in these slots, reels facing out. Slot width can be adjusted to accomodate thinner or beefier rods.
For storing rods horizontally - make two racks having dowels mounted perpendicularly to the base plate. Spacing between dowels equals rod handle width + reel diameter + dowel diameter plus a inch or so. Mount the racks on the wall vertically, separated by 3/4 the length of the rods. The rods lay across the dowels. If you have really long rods a third rack in the middle can stop the sag.
Here's one that I made to hang some of my rods from the ceiling, no reason that a fella couldn't use the same idea to hang them vertically on a wall. The rod tip end is just a slot that leads to a circle to hold the rod tip. Sorry about the bad lighting, but hopefully you get the idea.
Here's my rod rack I built several years ago. It hold 14 rods, and it's my own design. Some of my fishing buds saw it, and they all wanted one, so I got busy. Have sold a few to other fisherman. It's made of solid Maple, but made others out of Oak. The slots are lined with felt to protect the rod and guides…....!!
